Table Saw Featherboard

Inspired by similar products out there, but I would couldn't just to spend money on something I could easily make myself for much cheaper.
The purpose of a tool like this is to hold a board flush against a table saw fence to better control a long or repeated cut. The "feathers" are meant to be slightly pre-tensioned to hold the board tight, and account for any imperfections as the board is pushed past.

This was designed to use two m3x20 (or longer) Hex bolts and matching Hex nuts. and tightening these two bolts using the thumb screws both applies pressure to the feather board itself to stay in place and spreads the two angled groove inserts against the table saw groove to apply pressure against the slot to hold in place.


My design is specific to an older model porter cable table saw with a groove of width of 18mm and depth of 10mm. It may work different models of saws, but if not, it would be very easy to replace the two groove inserts with a size/shape to match your model
